In the upcoming US presidential election, former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu, has provided reasons why President Joe Biden cannot be written out.
It’s unclear who, between former President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, will prevail, according to Moghalu.
He clarified that writing off Biden due to his age and awkward performance in the first debate is simply joining a bandwagon and doesn’t reflect the actual results of the election.
Moghalu stated in a post on his X handle on Thursday that although Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of felonies, this does not mean that he cannot defeat Biden.
He said: “The brouhaha over whether @JoeBiden should step down is much ado about not much. The US presidential election campaigns have not begun seriously.
“Elites do not speak for ordinary Americans. We don’t know who will win between Donald Trump and Biden, but anyone writing off Biden because he is old (with many concrete governance achievements, but also supportive of some deeply controversial social policies) and fumbled on the first debate is jumping on a bandwagon that says nothing about the real outcome of the election.
“At the same time, that Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts doesn’t rule out his chances of beating Biden.
“Odd though it may seem, today’s America is one where right-wing populism has gone mainstream. There are some valid reasons for this. Let’s just watch this race.”
